`
`
`With the Board’s authorization, Multimedia Technologies Pte. Ltd.
`(“Patent Owner”) filed a Motion to Withdraw Counsel in each of the above-
`listed proceedings (“Motions”).3 Paper 12. Patent Owner requests that Ryan
`J. Singer be permitted to withdraw as back-up counsel. Id. at 1. The
`Motions explain that “Ryan J. Singer is no longer an attorney at Schulte
`Roth & Zabel LLP.” Id. Patent Owner indicates that its “First Amended
`Mandatory Notices lists other back-up counsel for this proceeding.” Id.
`Patent Owner indicates that Petitioner does not oppose the Motions. Id.
`Patent Owner has filed an updated mandatory notice removing Ryan J.
`Singer as counsel. Paper 13, 3.
`
`In view of the above, it is
`ORDERED that Patent Owner’s Motions are granted, and Ryan J.
`Singer is allowed to withdraw as counsel from the above-identified
`proceedings; and
`FURTHER ORDERED that Patent Owner is to continue to have lead
`counsel and back-up counsel represent it for the above-identified
`proceedings.
`
`
`
`
`
`3 The Motions in each of the above-captioned proceedings are substantively
`identical. For convenience, all citations are to IPR2024-00694 with the
